If you are just joining us today, please see ARCHIVES so you can review the  previous Halachos on this and other topics. 

 
       

1) If an oven designated for one class of food was inadvertently used to cook/bake a food of the opposite class, it can be Koshered by thoroughly cleaning it out [preferably with a caustic cleaner to remove the grease from the walls], waiting 24 hours and then  turning the oven to the highest temperature(or self clean, in which case a caustic cleaner may not be necessary) for approximately an hour.

The grates on which the food were laying inside the oven, also require Koshering and should also be cleaned, and remain inside when the oven is turned on to the highest setting. (See Kovetz M'Beis Leivi Vol. 3 page 21:5)

2) It is important to note that Koshering ovens should be done only when necessary and in instances where they inadvertently were used wrongly. Constantly Koshering an oven  from one food class to another should be avoided. (See Shu"t Chelkas Yaakov Vol. 2 Siman 136 and Shu"t Teshuvos V'Hanhagos Vol. 1 Siman 430)

Due to the many complications involved in Koshering ovens, and the fact that certain ovens coated with enamel or other materials cannot be koshered at all according to some Poskim, it is always advisable to consult a competent Rav before attempting to kosher an oven to discuss all the specific details. (See "Laws of Kashrus" by Rav Binyomin Forst Shlita page 229 for a more detailed treatment of Koshering ovens.)

QUESTION & ANSWER CORNER:
 
Reader Submitted Questions of interest on topics related to Halachos we covered, as well as other interesting topic and Answers. Taken from the Q & A pages on the Halacha For Today website.
 
Although the answers I give to questions are taken directly from the Sifrei HaPoskim, and aren't my own, they are  still for study purposes only, NOT for Psak Halacha.
 
Questions can be emailed to HalachaForToday@Yahoo.com    
 

 
 
 
 
 

Reader's Question:

 

Can you please explain the concept that it's an issur for a man to walk in between 2 ladies?
 
Is this halacha or kaballah?
 
Is there any problem of a woman walking in between 2 men?
?
    

Answer:

 

This is brought in the Talmud Pesachim 111a and in Horiyos 13b  and applies equally to a man walking between two women and a woman walking between 2 men.
 
The Gemara says that doing so will make it difficult to learn and absorb Torah (see Rashi  Horiyos 13b Dibur Hamaschil Kashim)
 
This is found in Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Siman 3:8 as well. The Poskim say that it is also a Sakana.
 
The Chazon Ish was extremely makpid on this and once quipped to a woman  who said that it was  too hard to abide by this rule "Do you find it too hard to avoid walking into a fire?" (Quoted by Rav Chaim Kanievsky Shlita in his sefer Ta'ama D'Kra, sixt printing edition, in the section where he lists rulings and customs of the Chazon Ish Zatzal that he heard from his mother A"H  page 178)
 
It is questionable if this applies to family members too, and according to many Poskim it is best to be stringent.
 
if two men (or two women)  are walking together, they may pass between the two women (or two men) (See Ben Ish Chai Parshas Pinchos Siman 17)
 
If one finds himself in a situation where he/she will be walking between 2 members of the opposite gender, he/she should make sure to grasp something ( preferably a Mitzvah item such as  his peyos, Tefilin, Tzitzis,a Siddur, or  if that isn't available, anything else such as the corner of their jacket, hat, wallet or anything) in their hand. (See Halichos Shlomo Perek 2 footnote 103)
 Our holy sages, the Chazal tell us  
  תנא דבי אליהו כל השונה הלכות בכל יום מובטח לו שהוא בן עולם הבא, שנאמר הליכות עולם לו, אל תקרי הליכות אלא הלכות
- one who studies [at least two] Halachos daily is assured a portion in Olam Haba -  the world to come. 
(:מגילה כ"ח )
